RE: small rant
Only tool I didn't have was the T27 torx 3/8" drive socket. $23 from Snap On. Only need it for the primary plate. Why couldn't it just be an easy to find T25 or T30? I blame Bush for this too !!!!!!

You all can blame it on Willie G. It all ahs to dp with style and look of bike. If all the fasteners were standard hex head not only would it look like crap, but in some cases would not work. Think of all the covers such as the cam, primary, trans side cover-the way that those are styled the standard hex head would not work.

begin rant--Why the hell do we need three of four typs of fastners, what the f**k is wrong with standard nuts and bolts? Why put torx on anything ever under any circumstances? Why put torx in places where it is impossible to get to with a torx driver?--end rant

Torx have just better and sturdier heads than other bolt types. They have by now become pretty standard, and there are a lot of torx screwdrivers, short, long, interchangeable bit, ratchet and such around. Just buy a good set of torx bits and a good ratchet and you'll be fine.
